Direct linkStevens, Elizabeth A.; Forsyth, Suzanne R.; Powell, Sarah R. – Elementary School Journal, 2022
Teachers and caregivers use children's books (i.e., trade books) to support mathematics learning in school and home settings; shared book reading offers a unique opportunity to support students' understanding of operations and schema development. No prior studies have examined the representations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and…

Gough, John – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2021
This article explores some entertaining examples of mathematical thinking in working with the alphabet. They involve thinking linearly, sequentially, in order, and logically, and require problem solving--mathematical thinking. The article discusses creatively exploring the alphabet through alphabet books and creating alternative alphabet lists.

Wickstrom, Megan H.; Jurczak, Lindsay M. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2016
In this article, the authors describe how their first-grade class used the book "Inch by Inch" (Lionni 1960)--the story of an inchworm that escapes from a hungry robin by proving he is useful for measuring--as inspiration for a lesson focused on exploring length measurement through examining the meaning of an inch. The authors designed a…

Valentine, Keri Duncan – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2016
In order to address concerns with the underrepresentation of spatial thinking in K-12 curricula, (National Research Council, 2006), Valentine and Kopcha (in press) designed and implemented a learning environment integrating cases as alternative perspective (Jonassen, 2011) in the context of eighth-grade mathematics. The design aimed to provide…

Peer reviewedSouviney, Randall – Arithmetic Teacher, 1986
Presents a problem that requires an experiment and which is nearly impossible to solve without adding new elements. Also provides tips on creating a problem-solving atmosphere in the classroom, offers a problem for middle school students to solve, and lists books containing nonroutine problems (appropriate for students in grades 4-8).
